Just not for meAs another Reviewer notes, if you liked the previous games in the Series, you should like this one. Personally, I like games that offer sequels. It doesn't get old for me, as long as they offer a new take on it (whether it be scenery, storyline, products, etc.) AND they don't fix what wasn't broken (like taking out Levels of Difficulty, etc.). Fortunately, they did not do that here.
I do own the first 3 of this Series of this Line. Quality remains high. Some notes:
Graphics are sharp
Controls are responsive
Can Queue up actions - can also cancel with a right click for when pesky enemies attack
Good replay value, as you can replay Levels as much as you wish
Some Strategy is required in this Series
My only complaint with the Game, is that of another Reviewer. The Zombie Skeletons come at you very early.
A few levels of this I don't mind.
A lot of Levels of this takes away from enjoyment of the game, as it DOES mess up one's strategy. Really didn't see the need for it either, as some of the Levels are hard enough to get 3 stars on to begin with. Don't need the added annoyance of the Monsters.
Given that one item, this is a No Buy for me. If you don't mind the Monsters, give it a go. You'll probably enjoy the Game.

I MISS THE GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR IN THIS EDITIONI was disappointed in this 5th edition of New Yankee in King Arthur's Court because other than different layouts, there's really nothing different about this game. The graphics aren't stellar, the storyline is weak, and the one feature that sets this game apart from all the other Time Management games, is the excellent sense of humor, but this one just isn't that funny :( You can play in a Relaxed, Normal or Expert mode, (Expert wasn't available previously) and earn a Gold, Silver or Bronze Trophy, and any level can be replayed.
There are the usual Time Management tasks, of clearing paths, harvesting food, cutting down trees, repairing bridges, and gathering other resources. Mana is gathered to allow Mary to cast spells, which give you Faster Workers, Faster growing Crops, and instant Tree regrowth etc. Buildings of various types must be constructed, such as Sawmills and Foundry's, and as you progress, other buildings become available to help you replenish various resources faster, depending on the level goals.
Those dreaded Zombie Skeleton's have returned, (& in level 2 at that!) and if you don't pay attention, they can easily mess up your strategic plans. As soon as they are spotted, you'll need to click on them, which sends John to destroy them in his tight, but shining armor. If you aren't quick enough, workers will get scared off, and all of the queued tasks you had selected previously, will have to be re-clicked, once John has won the battle, and cleared the way.
I've never been a fan of the Collector's Edition version for a TM game. I personally don't see a need for a Strategy Guide, (although, I would love to see some sort of Hint feature added, to use when I'm not sure what I should do next, on occasion) and I could care less about most of the CE extras offered, such as, Wallpapers and Music. I did, however, enjoy finding the hidden Puzzle Piece in most of the levels, which allows you to assemble a Jigsaw Puzzle in the Collector's Edition version, but that's not a feature I'm willing to pay twice as much for! I'm still a fan of this series though, I just hope they don't forget the humor that made me a fan, in the next edition.
The Collector's Edition version has 30 Achievements to earn, 26 Movie Cutscenes, 10 Music Soundtracks, 6 Wallpapers, 32 Collectible Puzzle Pieces to assemble a Jigsaw Puzzle, 50 Levels + 15 Bonus Levels and a Strategy Guide.
